Mary didn’t understand such sentences as “She is blue today”, “You are yellow”, “He has a green thumb(拇指）”, “He has told a white lie” and so on. And she went to the teacher Mrs. James for help. Mary: Mrs. James, there is a colour in each of the sentences. What do they mean? Mrs. James: In everyday English, Mary, blue sometimes means sad, yellow afraid. A person with a green thumb grows plants well and a white lie is not a bad one.” Mary: I’m afraid I don’t understand them all. Would you give me an example for “a white lie”? Mrs. James: Certainly. Now I just give you some cakes. In fact you don’t like it, but you don’t want to let me know it. Instead you say, “No, thanks. I’m not hungry.” That’s a white lie. Mary: It sounds very interesting. Thanks very much. Mrs. James: You are welcome. Colours are meaningful. I think you will meet more sentences like these in the future. Please come to me if you have any questions. 1.I don’t have a green thumb, so all my plants ________________. A. die off B. grow well C. look nice D. are good 2.David is yellow and he is ___________ to climb the tall tree! A. happy B. clever C. brave D. afraid 3..He didn’t like me to know ___________ of the accident. He told me a white lie at last. A. the reason B. the true story C. the meaning D. the answer

Suggestions to help you be happier The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future---for example, getting into a college or getting a good job--that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives. Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes. 1.The best title of the passage is ___________ . A. Money Makes You Happy B. Good Friends Makes You Happy C. Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy D. The Secrets of Happiness 2.The second paragraph tells us that _____________ . A. the more friends you have, the happier you will be B. we shouldn’t think about our future C. happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life D. some people fail to live a happy life 3.The passage gives us ______pieces of advice on happiness.

Do you have a vegetable garden? Have you ever watched a seed (种子) sprout (发芽), grow and fruit until it became the tomato on your plate? If you go to school in the US, there’s a good chance you have. At the moment, nearly 20 percent of schools in the US have their own vegetable gardens that are planted and cared for by students. Next year, even more schools will have gardens and more US kids will know the pleasure of growing their own food. Much of the growing interest in planting comes from First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” project, which started last year. The First Lady wants to improve children’s nutrition (营养) in the US — and she began her project by planting a garden at the White House with the help of some local kids. The kids were more interested in eating the vegetables from their garden than in eating fast food. This gave the First Lady an idea. Because so many US kids eat breakfast and lunch at school, the food should be healthy and good. Why not let kids grow the food for their own cafeterias (食堂)? Mrs .Obama’s plan gives money to schools to start their own gardens, and more school gardens are sprouting up every day. Students also use the information from their gardens to study science and math, and they paint pictures of their gardens in art class. Many students choose to work in the garden instead of playing on the playground during their noon break. Sound like fun? Ask your teacher if there’s room for a garden at your school, too.
1.Much of the growing interest in planting comes from ___________. A. The First Lady’s “Our Garden” project B. The First Lady’s money C. The First Lady’s ideas D. The First Lady’s “Let’s Move” project 2.. Why should the food be healthy and good? A. Because so many US kids aren’t healthy. B. Because so many US kids eat breakfast and lunch at school. C. Because so many US kids’ nutrition is good enough. D. Because so many US kids grow vegetables. 3.According to the story, which statement is NOT true? A. The “Let’s Move” project started last month. B. The First Lady began planting a garden with the help of some local school kids. C. Next year, more US kids will have the pleasure of growing their own food. D. Students use the information from their gardens to study science and math. 4.According to the story, we learn that ___________. A. Every school in the US has its own vegetable garden B. All kids in the US grow the food for their own cafeterias C. First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” project was unsuccessful D. Students can learn a lot from their gardens

What’s the most important thing in your life? Have you thought about this question? I began to think about it when I was just a little girl. I had a lot of friends and I loved playing with them. So I thought friendship was the most important thing in life. If I had no friends, I would be very sad. When I got older, I thought the most important thing was music. I was crazy about music at that time. In my opinion, if I couldn’t sing or couldn’t listen to music, my life would be meaningless. As time went by, I changed my mind again. When I was 12, I read a book that tells a beautiful story about the love between a mother and her child. I was happy to find that love was the most important thing. I thought love made my life beautiful. Not long ago, I got a new answer to the question from another book. The writer said, “happiness is the destination(目标,终点) for everyone.” Soon I realized that, in fact, friendship, music, love and happiness are all very important to us. There are many important things that make our lives colourful and beautiful. What’s the most important thing in life? I don’t have the answer yet. However, in fact, I don’t want to know. I just want to care about everything important in my life. And I believe I will be very happy if I can achieve that. I hope everyone can find the important things in their lives, and cherish (珍爱)them!

Do you feel lonely when your best friend isn’t around? Here’s our advice to you ---and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes. It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around --- maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel left out at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems everybody else already has his or her friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends. Start by looking around your classroom --- think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say, “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in. If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help ---and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends. You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left. You can introduce him or her to your new friends! 1.How do you feel when your best friend isn’t around you according to the passage?
2. Why do some kids feel lonely at break according to the writer?
3.What is the best way to make friends according to the writer?
4.Why do some kids need help from teachers to make friends according to the writer?
5.What should you do if you want to make more friends? (请自拟一句话作答)
